Team Description and Charge
The Student Success Network Group was formed as a short-term strategic design YESS group during 2020-21 and was charged with developing recommendations for establishing a clear and proactive network of referral and support that promotes student persistence and completion.
The Student Success Network is an effort to better support PCC students using a coordinated care approach, an intentional approach of standardizing practices across Student Affairs units to connect all of the people involved in student support in a shared institutional goal. This work will formalize retention support and make the college experience more seamless for students to navigate systems and receive holistic support.
Progress and Milestones
The Student Success Network Group met throughout the 2020-21 academic year to create a vision for a community of care at PCC from both a student and a staff and faculty lens. They conducted research and completed an environmental scan to gather and understand best practices. The team identified over 50 recommendations, which they condensed and categorized into four main themes. These themes align with Academic and Career Pathways and the Strategic Plan’s work related to the theme of Belonging.
